Discipline:

Ceramicist

Location:

Sheffield, UK

ABOUT:

Evelyn Albrow is a ceramicist from Sheffield and works out of the city's Yorkshire Art Space. Evelyn hand-builds her vessels in crank clay and juxtaposes their large, abstract forms with ethereal detailed illustrations. Her work often centres around British folklore, myth, and women. Her decoration has fantastical qualities drawn from medieval imagery, art history, museum artefacts and the natural world. She is currently exploring multispecies stories, hybrids and alternative utopias. 
After graduating from Bristol University with a BA in History of Art, Evelyn gained a Masters in Illustration from Camberwell College of Art. She joined a small artist studio in London where she taught herself ceramics before moving back to Sheffield to focus on her practice. She has exhibited her work extensively throughout the UK and has run numerous workshops for children and young people in Sheffield, London and Bristol.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
